Former United States Champion LA Knight revealed that he was involved in a minor car accident before heading to Baltimore last night. The 43-year-old shared the news before his match, expressing gratitude to God for protecting him from what could have been a major incident. Despite the ordeal, The Megastar still competed in his scheduled match against Santos Escobar, showcasing his resilience.
Before his match, LA Knight delivered a heartfelt promo to the WWE Universe, recounting the details of his car accident. He revealed that while driving to Baltimore at a speed of 70 km/h, another driver crashed into his car. Even after a setback, The Defiant One emphasized that nothing could keep him from showing up where he truly belongs, and that is in the WWE ring.
The 43-year-old fan favorite received an outpouring of support from the crowd, with his story earning him a great reaction throughout the match. Recently, Knight faced another setback when he lost the United States Championship to Shinsuke Nakamura. Since then, he has been determined to reclaim the title, pursuing a second reign as United States Champion on SmackDown.

However, Knight’s pursuit of the United States Title has been interrupted by The Bloodline and Solo Sikoa. Alongside Apollo Crews and Andrade, Knight has been working to restore order on SmackDown in recent weeks. It will be intriguing to see how The Megastar’s journey unfolds amidst these ongoing issues.
LA Knight to move to Raw after it debuts on Netflix on January 6
LA Knight has been a mainstay on Friday Night SmackDown for the past few years, but things have felt stagnant for him in recent months. Since losing the United States Championship, the 43-year-old has been aimlessly drifting on the blue brand. However, there are growing speculations that he could make the move to Monday Night Raw in 2025.
Knight has frequently appeared in official commercials promoting Raw’s debut on Netflix, underscoring his popularity within the company. With the buzz surrounding Raw on Netflix, WWE could leverage the platform to elevate The Defiant One’s character. Additionally, with The Bloodline likely moving to the red brand, Knight could continue his feud with the faction on Monday nights.
Transitioning to the red brand could offer Knight the fresh start he has been seeking in WWE. On the road to WrestleMania, he could face rising star Bron Breakker for the Intercontinental Championship. Additionally, his interactions with stars like Karrion Kross and Drew McIntyre could be game-changing, adding exciting new dynamics to Raw’s roster.
